deltawalker has been supported since 284a126c3ef3, but was not added to the list of valid diff tools reported by 'git difftool --help'.

The list of valid tools seems prone to error. Right now, there is nothing that tells people to update this documentation when new config files are added to 'mergetools'. Should I add a README to 'mergetools' with instructions to update this file? Or would it be better to replace the list in the help string with a more general statement like "<tool> must match one of the files located in $(git --exec-path)/mergetools"?
